At 55k starting it’s no where near close to my badlands Sasquatch capability. With mods to get it similar ground Clearence and all the other things, it’ll be well into the 75k range. I also don’t love the looks. I have 0 want.

Competition is great for consumers. Heard the next gen 4runner might be more Bronco and Wrangler like as was the 1st gen 4runner. Doors and roof might be removable.
The only competition here is the market of people that want an "off-road SUV" they will never take off-road. For that buyer, imo it's a lot better.
Wouldn't take much for the interior to be nicer, probably has better DD luxuries and tows almost double.
But if you want to roll it off the truck and wheel it, Bronco is your better bet.
Practically, they are cars for different people, but in reality for those that soul search about their actual offroad time, it's probably better lol.

I would love to have a modern first gen 4 runner. SUV when you need it or truck when you need it with Toyota quality.

I’m not from the world of landcruisers, so this doesn’t flip me. I do like it though. Bring the Everest to the US, and fight it out with the Toyota . If this Landcruiser gets you to trade the Bronco, then good for you. I really feel like a lot of Bronco complaints stem from people who want Bronco to be something different than what it is.
I’m just here for the Broncos. Hell, the Ranger Raptor is more practical for my uses, but I’m not trading my Bronco for one. My wife’s a fan of Toyotas. She can have one if she wants (sadly, she’d opt for the square headlights). The only thing that hit me in the feels was the 6000 lb towing capacity.
On edit. I watched the videos. I’d be really happy if my wife picked one of these out of Toyota’s selection. They did a good job. 18 inch wheels are a little big though.
Everest would have a hard time competing because the LC brings that sense of nostalgia to the field. This vehicle is going to siphon off Bronco owners that were left flat by Bronco’s short comings, or lack of sophistication. I lack sophistication, so Bronco and I are suited just fine.

Was slightly interested to see what it had to offer in case it might be a potential for the wife’s car but wasn’t too impressed at what you get for the 50k range and the price only goes significantly up.
Would buy in an instant, except . . .
(1) The ADM on the Bronco was bad, but established how willing folks were to part with their month. FJ owners have been begging for a return of this iconic badge since 2014.
(2) I already have an FJ Cruiser. It's ugly - thought that before I bought it and confirmed it after - but it does what it is supposed to do (off-road, light towing, carrying dogs and filthy kids) and all you have to do is change the oil and rotate the tires.
(3) I already have a Bronco. No way I'm waiting 18 to 24 months again for a stupid car unless I'm getting buried in it.

A vehicle that allows people to go anywhere and everywhere and return safely, developed and refined over more than 70 years based on the actual usage situations of global customers
Launched originally as the Toyota BJ on August 1, 1951, the Land Cruiser series is now 72 years old. Immediately after its launch, it became the first vehicle to climb to the sixth station of Mount Fuji. From that time, it has fulfilled its mission of delivering safety and security to all types of people in places that can only be reached in the Land Cruiser. Developed and refined based on the actual usage situations of global customers, it provides reliability, durability, and off-road performance that allows people to go anywhere and everywhere and return safely. This concept has been passed down and evolved. With cumulative sales of about 11.3 million units*1 in approximately 170 countries and regions around the world, it has supported the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere.
250 Series, back to the origin and essence of the Land Cruiser
The Light Duty Series has tended to shift toward high-end and luxury models as the generations have evolved. In developing the 250 Series, then-President Akio Toyoda, who has the ultimate responsibility for product development, explained his basic approach as, "The Land Cruiser should be a car that supports people's lives and local communities, so the Light Duty model must return to the true form that customers are looking for." In response, the development team defined the concept as returning to the origin of the Land Cruiser. With the spirit of rebuilding the model, they created a simple and sturdy vehicle that can be trusted by customers to fulfill their lifestyle choices and practical needs.
The new 250 Series is a core Land Cruiser model with the same GA-F platform as the 300 Series to dramatically improve basic performance as an off-roader. It also comes with various powertrains to achieve even more powerful driving performance and environmental performance worthy of the Land Cruiser name. It was created in pursuit of unique Land Cruiser characteristics, incorporating interior and exterior styling that fuses traditional and modern in a functional package. The aim was to create a next-generation Land Cruiser with improved ease of handling and comfort for both on- and off-road driving, while also delivering class-leading advanced safety performance.
Even after the 250 Series is released, the Land Cruiser will continue to evolve, while meeting a range of social needs, as a trustworthy, reliable, and practical choice for customers worldwide.
Improved basic performance as an off-roader through adoption of the GA-F platform
With the same GA-F platform as the 300 Series, the new 250 Series has dramatically improved off-road performance. As a reliable and practical choice for customers, it has improved ease of handling and comfort for on-road driving as well.
The 250 Series inherits the Land Cruiser mission of supporting the lives and livelihoods of people everywhere, while pursuing the reliability, durability, and off-road performance that is the DNA of the Land Cruiser. In line with Toyota's carbon neutrality initiatives that take a diverse multi-pathway approach, it also comes with various powertrains, including the first hybrid system for a Land Cruiser. These achieve powerful driving performance and environmental performance worthy of a Land Cruiser.
Interior and exterior styling that fuses traditional and modern in a functional package
Functional package carries people and cargo safely in every situation
The 250 Series achieves good forward visibility through a low-set cowl and instrument panel top surface, which contribute to safe on- and off-road driving. It also employs a low beltline to improve visibility of road surfaces even on rough roads. While dramatically improving off-road driving performance on the traditional Land Cruiser wheelbase, this series has a shorter mirror-to-mirror width to ensure good maneuverability.
With the durability of parts and easy repairs in the event of breakages, the design also takes customizability into account to allow users to enjoy their Land Cruiser in their own unique ways.
Prototype dimensions / specifications:
Length 4,925 mm (+100)
Width 1,980 mm (+95)
Height 1,870 mm (+20)
Wheelbase 2,850 mm (+60) (Compared to the CG Prado)
Land Cruiser styling fuses traditional and modern
In a fusion of traditional and modern, interior and exterior styling on the 250 Series focuses on three keywords: "reliable" (reliability to withstand harsh usage conditions), "timeless" (timeless simplicity to remain a favorite), and "professional" (refined functional beauty common to lean professional tools).
Exterior styling employs horizontal lines to reproduce the unique Land Cruiser silhouette, while interior styling has shifted from a high-end, luxury ambiance to the feeling of true off-road functionality. Coupled with a sturdy and stable interior space, horizontal instrument panel, and switch shapes that are clear and easy to operate in a range of driving conditions, styling contributes to improved functionality even on rough roads.
Class-leading advanced safety performance
Latest Toyota Safety Sense package
Toyota Safety Sense, the latest active safety package with advanced and improved functions, is standard on all new Land Cruiser grades. The range of detectable accidents has been expanded even further, enabling enjoyable driving with peace of mind.

Just that fact that it’s made in Japan is enough to forget about a removable roof , they put a big enough moonroof on this and it’s a huge win . Power train is above and beyond anything close in this segment . Quality first a must at Toyota , not feeding the frenzy with whatever and deal with the issues later
